Come gather 'round peopleWherever you roamAnd admit that the watersAround you have grownAnd accept it that soonYou'll be drenched to the bone.If your time to youIs worth savin'Then you better start swimmin'Or you'll sink like a stoneFor the times they are a-changin'.

Will PSN proceed?

Yes• Most Advanced • £500m saving• Downward devolution of power• Total Place/Successor • Big Society• High Dependency• Commitment of private sector

Regional Networks

NIST Cloud Definition

Kate Craig-Wood Memset

Cloud types

• Private Compute Utility: infrastructure physically dedicated to one organisation.

• Private Community Cloud: infrastructure dedicated to a specific community with shared concerns (such as G Cloud)

• Public Cloud: infrastructure available to the general public / businesses, mega scale without physical partitioning of resource allocations

• Hybrid Cloud: A combination of public and private utilities

• Providers – Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Salesforce.com but also smaller/specialist players like Rackspace

Cloud Characteristics

• On-demand self-service. provision computing capabilities - server and storage, automatically

• Broad network access. available over the network through standard mechanisms (e.g., desktops, mobile phones, laptops, and PDAs).

• Resource pooling. computing resources are pooled to serve multiple consumers using a multi-tenant model, with physical and virtual resources dynamically assigned and reassigned.

• Location independence no control or knowledge over the exact location of the provided resources - storage, processing, memory, network bandwidth, and virtual machines.

• Rapid elasticity. rapid and elastic provision to quickly scale out and in. Capabilities virtually unlimited and can be purchased in any quantity at any time.

• Measured Service. Automatically control and optimize resource, pay for usage.

Cloud Benefits• Lower Costs

– pay only for use– ‘Opex’ not ‘Capex’– Standardisation reduces cost - tens of thousands of inexpensive

processors and disks, held together with Velcro tape is a Google practice that makes for easy swapping of components

– Development and Testing – 70% Saving John Suffolk• Speed

– Shorter provisioning and procurement time• Efficiency

– Development and Testing can be temporary (70% reduction)– One off tasks and Peaks– Optimisation with virtualisation and multi-tenancy

• Quality– Frees resources– Better architecture and agile

• Sustainability– Greener

But........ does in house Virtualisation reduce these benefits?
